The HeartFlex is so special that it's protected by 3 US patents. It works solely by friction. It is totally passive and must be forcefully moved. This "passively resistant" attribute replicates the benefits of swimming but, "without the water." Like swimming, HeartFlex consistently resists all movement, increasing muscular strength, maximizing flexibility, and speeding recovery from injuries or surgery. And, just as swimming is the best workout for any age or fitness level so is HeartFlexing. Both may be made as easy or challenging as desired by varying the rhythm and number of repetitions performed. And, like swimming, different movements target specific muscles and joint structures.

The Heart Flex resistance assembly is made up of nineteen interlocking ball and socket parts. The eighteen joints between these parts create frictional resistance whenever they are moved.
Heart Flex is made to unleash the time proven benefits of swimming exercise by combining "consistent resistance" with multiple repetitions to:

Using the HeartFlex when walking, sitting, or lying down increases heart & pulmonary rate, lymphatic flow, and burns additional calories. By varying the rhythm and number of repetitions the physical intensity generated can be either gently increased or dramatically raised.

Builds strong, firm muscles that work .............

Flex

HeartFlex creates frictional resistance which affects muscles through the complete range of motion that is performed. Elite athletes build the strongest, most dense, muscle tissue possible by combining light resistance with multiple repetitions. Muscles formed in this way have consistent power and explosive speed.

Targets and strengthens specific upper body muscles

By altering exercise movements the HeartFlex isolates specific muscles and joints. This attribute makes it ideal for the targeted building and rehabbing of both "functional" and "sports specific muscles." HeartFlex's versatility allows the pinpointing of individual muscles in the hands, wrists, forearms, arms, shoulders, chest, and back.

Treats strains, sprains, and tendonitis

HeartFlex's "consistent-passive" resistance speeds healing and lessens the likelihood of re-injury during therapy. Similar looking products using springs or rubber bands produce "progressive-cocked" resistance which may overload sensitive healing structures.

Lowers blood sugar levels

Easy to demonstrate, simple to use; drops in blood sugar levels from 10 to 60 points after only 5 minutes of activity. See: Lowers Blood Sugar

Boosts lymphatic flow - cleanses the body naturally

The heart is the circulatory system's pump. Likewise, the pulmonary system's pump is the lungs. HeartFlex upper body exercises work the lymphatic pumps located beneath the chest muscles (pectorals). Stimulating these pumps, through muscle flexion, increases the circulation of lymphatic fluid and facilitates the body's natural cleansing process, assisting in the elimination of harmful toxins.
